I would predict that this would not solve the dilemma. Did you propose to
the researcher that you pull the items needed with one day's notice. If
the need is really for research, it would be only a minor handicap to have
to plan the materials to be used and call with a list.
On the other hand, if the researcher is addicted to some medicine and does
not wish to admit it, you have somewhat of a problem here. I suggest that
you talk to the researcher again and try to come to a procedure that will
solve both the needs of the researcher and the security needs.
